For those of you that take a creatine supplement, do you take it before or after you work out? I've tried both and didn't know if it made a difference. When I take it before I lift, my muscles feel more swollen during the workout. Is that normal? Thanks in advance.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Creatine Question

"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

My recent reading has suggeted that anything other than monohydrate is about as useful as cow s***. Which sucks, because a few weeks before I bought some ethyl ester, luckily a small amount.
Maybe Omen can elaborate...

"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

GO with cereatine mono hydrate.
The Ethyl Ester is proclaimed to "absorb better into your muscles than MH" but honestly, you wont notice a difference.
I have never heard about the Hydrochloride but you gotta take GNC with a grain of salt- It is of course the GENERAL nutrition center. Some of the stuff there won't help.
Myself I wouldnt go with creatine at all, as no studies have been done on it, but to each his own. It makes an undenyable difference but I have never felt the need to use it in my training.

There are plenty of studies proving creatine's efficacy. I don't know why you wouldn't use it if you admit you know it makes a difference; it's cheap as hell if you buy in bulk.LostAndConfused said:Myself I wouldnt go with creatine at all, as no studies have been done on it, but to each his own.

It's a cell volumizer, so I'd take the bulk of the serving before...
If you're aiming for 2 scoops per workout day, then throw 1.5 scoops pre-workout, and 0.5 post workout.
